Tutorial: Jaejoong/Tohoshinki

1.) Choose your base and edit it so that it doesn't look overly bright or overly dark. (eg. sharpen, blur, brighten, darken) I chose one from dont_be_so_base's DBSK bases. Note: For this base, I duplicated the layer, set it to screen at 60% and then duplicated the layer again and set it to color burn at 40%. Then I merged all three layers.)

2.) Now, to spice up the icon, I added this scratch texture by elliemo, set to screen at 100% opacity. Then, I rotated it -90 degrees, using the Free Transform Tool, and then coloured over in black, the scratches that overlapped his face.

3.) Here's where we mess a bit with the colouring. Generally, these settings can be applied to most icons, but I recommend you play around with the settings till you find something you like.

Create a new Selective Colouring layer (Layer >> Adjustments >> Selective Colour), setting it to Color at 100% opacity.

Settings:

RED: -72, -32, +20, -49

YELLOW: -42, 0, +31, -67

WHITE: +100, -34, -12, -15

NEUTRALS: +6, 0, -28, +6

4.) To make your icon look crisper and for the lines to show up more, duplicate your base layer and drag it to the top. Then, desaturate (Ctrl + Shift + U) and set it to Soft Light at 100% opacity.

4.) The icon's looking a little plain, so I added a light texture by dusty_memories, rotating it 180 degrees and setting it to screen at 50%.
